Hi there! I was away in Florida last week for business and glad to be back home. I had some crafty time this past weekend and got the Sizzix Eclips running.

One of my coworkers just retired about a month ago and she has brand new baby twins - a boy Logan and a girl Hayden. I made these for their room. They have a Lion King theme room. I found the Lion King paper at Michael’s.

Here is Hayden’s Collage:

Here is a closeup of Logan’s Collage:I used the palm tree from SVG Cuts Birthday Dino SVG Collection.I stretched the palm tree trunk in Illustrator to better fit with my design.

Have to tell you this Sizzix eclips is truly an amazing cutter! It cuts so clean and does not have any issues with intricate cuts. When SVG Cuts released the Doilies SVG Collection I thought I will use those but now that I’ve had it, I am finding more and more uses for them. I just cut some today 4" wide on the eclips!

I discovered a cool trick today and thought I'd share. After the doilies are finished remove from the mat and I used a Pampered Chef Scraper to remove all the little pieces. You probably have these in your kitchen drawer.

I created the Julianna font to match the embroidered bedding. It matches just perfect! You can also get a good look at the first doilie on this photo.

Here is closeup of the doilie. I threaded pink ribbon through the border.

Little Julianna has lots of butterflies in her room so of course I worked in a few of those too.

Shadowbox frame is from Joanns - 12x12 size. Gems on the collage are from Creative Charms. I would suggest you stop by their store ~ they are having an inventory clearance.

I also used elements from The Hippity Hoppity SVG Kit that was released the prior week. That is the great thing about SVG Cuts files - the title is from a card but they also save everything off into an "Extras" Folder so you can use the elements on other pieces.

WELCOME!
